You want to talk odd?
My favourite car of all time is the 78 King Cobra. Modified, of course.
Not just because I own one, though. I've loved the Mustang II since the first one I ever saw (which happened to be a 1:25 AMT "Python" kit, BTW), and has continued through almost twenty years of owning them.
As it sits, mine is a modified King Cobra, Black on Black T-top, cammed 5.0 automatic (4-speed waiting to go in), 68 4-bbl intake and Holley 650 (probably swapping for an Edelbrock 289 Torker highrise intake), Flex-a-lite electric fan, 2.79 gears (4.10 Trak/Lok waiting to go in), 225/50R15's on the front, 295/50R15's on the rear, H4 headlight conversion, all-red taillight conversion, and currently in the middle of replacing the blacked trim with chrome and swapping to a 74 header panel and grille.
And since I mostly build models of Mustang II's, this HAS helped me build better models. Any time I get stuck on how to make a model more "correct" I just have to look in the driveway, the garage, or the shop for perfect reference material...
